Here's what one of our subscribers to the YourBusinessBody.com DVD series had to say about DVD #1:


"At first - I was skeptical - could this DVD really be worth 40 bucks?

Well, I just finished watching the DVD that came in today's mail.The DVD is definitely worth every penny, and more.

Because it offers an inside view into the mind of a best selling author, master marketer; and aspiring body builder(Dr. Joe Vitale); and an aspiring marketer, master fitness coach (Scott) it would be a shame to miss this video, and miss this opportunity & challenge with www.yourbusinessbody.com.

I also appreciate your (Scott) candid - straight forward, no BS approach to body building & fitness.

You dispell some of the common myths, especially in the diet / nutrition areas.

I think you are the first fitness professional who I've ever heard say "You may have to feel hunger to lose fat" Which is just real...so many of the BS plans promise "never feel hunger."

So - yes, I do endorse your videos - and yes, I recommend that people not just watch, but learn - by keeping a note pad handy.

In fact - while listening to you and Dr. Joe, I had two great ideas, one which will be worth a lot of money!

To your success!"

Here's some feedback I just received regarding our first double DVD available at www.yourbusinessbody.com :

"Scott -

I just finished watching the first two DVD's of 'Your Business Body' and they are awesome! I love the candid view of Joe's life and his thoughts! The way you torture (aka, train) him in his gym and grill him with marketing and business questions all at once is seriously priceless!

There is no doubt in my mind Joe is going to get in serious shape with your fast paced, NO BS workouts! I am impressed with how tough Joe is as well! He's the perfect client! He never says "No" or complains or whines. People can learn a ton here, not just in the business sense, but in how Joe is so dedicated and driven to be a success in all areas of life.

This is top notch, must have stuff that people need to experience!

Keep it coming because I'm looking forward to seeing more!! "

Best,

Questions and Answers:

Question:

"Scott -
Here's a few questions to keep the blog posts rolling:

1) Do I need to count calories? I'm primarily concerned with losing fat without loss of the muscle I do have.

2) Do I need to take any nutritional supplements? I currently take a good multi-viatimin and fish oil each day. But should I add protein powders, shakes, other supplements, and what do you recommend as "biggest bang for the buck"

Thanks -

Dave"

Answer:

Dave,

Thanks for your questions!

1) Regarding counting calories. Most people, in my experience, tend to underestimate the number of calories that they eat. For this reason, I think that it is a good idea to count your calories in the beginning of your weightloss program.

There are numerous free websites that will assist with this.
Here's a link to one that I have used -> http://www.urban-riot.com/bb/login.php

I also use the book "The Complete Book of Food Counts" by Corinne Netzer to find food values.

If you google "calories in food" or "food counts", I'm sure there are free websites that will help you find how many calories are in specific foods.

I like to eat normally (don't diet) for 3 days. Add up the calories over the 3 day period and then divide by 3.

For example: If one ate 2000 calories on Day 1, 25oo calories on Day 2 and 3000 calories on Day 3 the average would be 2500 calories.

The last step is to deduct 500 calories from that 2500 average (a pound of fat equals 35oo calories). In theory, you should lose a pound of fat just by deducting the 5oo calories each day.

Of course, you should still workout. This will speed up the fat loss, build lean tissue, crank up the metabolism, etc.

Summary - count calories for a few days. Establish a baseline. Deduct 500 calories from that baseline.

2) Supplements:

I'll tell you what I like to do.

I use minimal supplements.

I use a vitamin/mineral capsule and a protein supplement each day.

Vit C, Vit E, fish oil, creatine, Glutamine all get high marks but I don't use them all of the time.

If I had to recommend a protein powder, I would choose "Muscle Milk" by Cytosport.

It tastes great. It has a great nutritional profile. It mixes with water easily.

Find it at your local supplement store or go to www.netrition.com

Thanks, Dave!

Good luck!

Scott

P.S. We'll (Dr. Joe Vitale and I) will be hosting a teleconference call about The Challenge soon. Details on the way!

Question and Answer about The Challenge!

Question: "How do I know if I'm entered in the contest? I'm going to take my "before" photos tonight, and have yet to buy Joe's materials (but I will this week) - is that good enough? I guess what I'm saying is that the entry package is a little vague on what it means to ENTER.I understand I must:

1) Subscribe to DVD of the Month.
2) Purchase "The Power of Outrageous Marketing" Audio.
3) Purchase the Book, There's a Customer Born Every Minute.

But the rules don't say - order these first, then start... or can I start and order in the upcoming weeks? Thanks - OK to respond publicly on your blog. I'm sure I'm not the only one confused on the particulars."

I have to share this with you.

Dr. Joe Vitale is out of town until the 15th of August.

He's at a hypnotist convention up North somewhere. He's a featured speaker so he'll be busy with that for a while.

Here's the deal.

I received this email from a fellow fitness professional today - it reads
"Hey Scott, How has everything gone with the first phase of the business body challenge? I love the blog posts and emails that have gone out. I am signing on for the next phase guaranteed. Actually can I still sign on if I'm not doing the body challenge just to get the dvd of the month?" - Scott Tousignant, www.thefitbastard.com

Well, I just finished editing, rendering, and burning DVD #1 and I'm proud of it!

DVD #1 contains almost 2 hours of behind the scenes action such as a look inside of Mr Fire's home gym, a very lengthy, detailed marketing conversation for business owners and entrepreneurs, a workout with me training Dr. Vitale and the actual conversation with Dr. Vitale and me sharing how we "hatched" this whole idea regarding this Marketing and Fitness DVD which has now evolved into www.YourBusinessBody.com!

So, yes Scott, of course I'm going to make this DVD available - it's too good not to!

There are a truckload of "take action", inspirational conversations between me and Dr. Vitale.

There are also some "WoW" type of marketing ideas that could take your business to the next level.

Here's the bottom line.

I don't have to explain the value of Dr. Vitale's marketing wisdom to you.

You already are aware that his information changes businesses and lives.

If you use the information.

If you want to get this first DVD which contains fly on the wall footage, topics you've never heard Dr. Vitale speak about, fitness information and powerful marketing tips from Mr. Attractor Factor, then I'm going to make it available now.

For a limited time.


Until he comes back from out of town.

The price of this just under 2 hour DVD is $39.95 for the competitors who subscribed and are currently competing in The Challenge.

I heard Joe recently tell me that we should charge $60-$70 for this DVD if you were not a subscriber/competitor in The Challenge.

But darn it, I just spent most of my day finishing this DVD and I want everyone to see it.
So if you click on this link -> http://snipurl.com/uuya, you can grab it for $39.95 (shipping included)!

Not $60 or $70.

This "I'm going to get in trouble" price of $39.95 is only good until Wednesday, August 16th.

I figured it would take that long for Joe to learn about my "price break" and tell me that I have undervalued this one of a kind jam packed Marketing and Fitness DVD by offering it to the masses for $39.95!

I'm going to tell him that I'm just a musclehead and didn't know any better :)
Here's the link -> http://snipurl.com/uuya

Remember this most likely will be the only opportunity to get your hands on this disc for this low price which is like having a nearly 2 hour one on one seminar with me and Mr. Fire!

Think it's worth $40?

Regards,
Scott

Questions and Answers

Question: "I just learned about this awesome opportunity and want to dive in and enter the first round of the Body Transformation part of this Challenge. Today is August 4th and the start date for Round 1 is August 1st. Am I too late?" - Josie B.

Answer: Good Question. The cutoff date for each round will be 2 weeks into the round.


Example: Round 1 starts on August 1st. You can enter Round 1 as late as August 15th but you will have lost 2 weeks. You will have 10 weeks left to "do your thing" and get to transforming.
Scott

Question: "Are there any workout routines that you would recommend that I use during the Body Transformation Challenge? I'm new to working out." - Leonard S.

Answer: I will be happy to email you a basic "bootcamp style" workout that you can do at home with little to no equipment! Simply enter the contest (see Rules and Entry Kit at www.yourbusinessbody.com) and then email me your request for a bootcamp style workout.
Email mrfire@yourbusinessbody.com

As always, please check with your doctor before starting any workout program.

**Note - My wife recently attended a wedding. She needed to lose a few pounds to fit into the bridesmaid dress. She began doing these bootcamp style workouts at home and began losing weight too fast. She actually had to slow down because she was losing too much weight and was in danger of not fitting into the dress that she had already bought.

I said to her "Give me a testimonial for my website www.fullforcefitness.net. That's great information to share with others that are interested in working out!"

Study Proves Happiness Burns More Calories than Sadness

I'm sending out a news release next week that says --

Happiness Burns More Calories than Sadness

It will go on to say --

Formerly Obese Author Loses 80 pounds Getting Happy -
Announces World's First Body and Business Contest (Austin, Texas)

According to Dr. Joe Vitale, author of The Attractor Factor and Life's Missing Instruction Manual, happiness burns more calories than unhappy emotional states, such as depression, sadness, or anger.

"People mistakenly think happiness is where you sit and vegetate under a lotus tree," says Vitale, 52, an author and Internet marketer based in Texas.

"The truth is, happy people tend to take more actions in the direction of their goals."Vitale says he lost 80 pounds by focusing on what he wanted, not on what he didn't want.

"Unhappy people tend to sit in front of the television, overeat, and do nothing but complain," he stated today.

"Even if they are feeling frustrated, sad, or angry, they tend to bottle their energy and do little to nothing with it. As a result, they get fat."Vitale should know.

This once obese Internet guru of www.mrfire.com lost eighty pounds.

He says he went from being called the Buddha of the Internet to the Charles Atlas of the Internet.

"I began to lose weight when I began to do what makes me happy," Vitale explained. "Happy people tend to take actions that burn more calories.

As a result, they get trimmer.

"To help others get happy and lose weight, Vitale and his personal trainer, Scott York, just announced the world's first body and business fitness contest at www.yourbusinessbody.com/.

"The idea is to work on your body and your business," says Vitale.

"Get happy, get fit, and make money, too."The winner can win $150,000 in Vitale's marketing services and Scott York's fitness training.

"Fat people aren't happy or jolly," says Vitale. "That's another myth. When they go home and sit in front of their TV, they cry inside."

For details on the body and business contest, see www.yourbusinessbody.com

The idea for the above news release came from the realization that happy people do tend to achieve their goals, even at weight loss.

They simply follow The Attractor Factor formula and focus on what they want.

Ao Akua,
Joe
www.mrfire.com

PS - I got the idea for the "happiness burns calories" news release while working-out in my gym. It will hit the national media on Tuesday.

3 Steps To Becoming the Grand Champion of the $150,000 YourBusinessBody.com Body and Business Transformation Challenge!

1) Desire.

You must have Desire. There are tons of people that "want to get in shape" or "want to earn more money".

Do these people really "want" or "desire" these things?

Or do they "think" they want these things?

Big difference.

Actions (see step 3) always speak louder than words.

Are you doing what is necessary to get into your all time best shape?

That's what you will need to do in order to win the title of www.yourbusinessbody.com.

If you are a fitness pro and you were asked to be in a Summer Swimsuit Fitness Calendar, would you be ready?

Why not?

If you work within a business or corporation and were invited to the company swim party, would you feel proud to "deliver the goods" when the time came to take off that shirt?

Or would you wear your shirt while swimming?

These are hard questions.

Not everyone wants to hear these questions.

But a lot of people need to hear these questions.

Some people are happy where they are in regards to health and fitness.

Some aren't.

It all comes back to Desire.

2) Consistency.

Consistency with nutrition.

Consistency with exercise.

Consistency with business activities.

Being consistent in working towards your goals pays off in Huge Dividends.

It's one of the secrets of the World Class according to Steve Siebold, author of "177 Mental Toughness Secrets of The World Class".

Some other secrets from this book include:

- The Middle Class has pipedreams...the World Class has vision.

- The Middle Class has a lottery mentality...the World Class has an abundance mentality.

- The Middle Class loves to be comfortable...the World Class is comfortable being uncomfortable.

- The Middle Class chooses fear...the World Class choose growth

- The Middle Class believes their vision when they see it...the World Class knows they will see their vision when they believe it.

3) Take Action.

It's great to have desire but it means nothing until one Takes Action.

Just getting started with a serious goal that you have set for yourself will feel wonderful.

Maybe a little scary at first.

What if you "fail"?

What if you don't?

What if you win?

For a moment, think about winning the YourBusinessBody.com Body and Business Transformation Challenge!

What would you do if Dr. Vitale or I called you to inform you that you have just been chosen as The Grand Champion!

The first Grand Champion ever!

How would you feel?

Who's the first person that you would tell?

How would it feel to get off of the airplane in Austin, Texas in several short months knowing that you are about to learn from one of the greatest marketing minds of our time?

If you are into computers it would be akin to meeting and hanging out with Bill Gates.

Think you might learn an inside tip or two?

What would your first question to Dr. Vitale be?

How would you feel about working out with Dr. Vitale, sharing reps, sharing ideas, and appearing on a future episode of the www.yourbusinessbody.com DVD of the month?

Do you think it might be just a little exciting?

I would venture to say that winning the title of Grand Champion would change your life forever.

So take action!

Enter the contest at www.yourbusinessbody.com

1) Order the book, "There's A Customer Born Every Minute" at www.yourbusinessbody.com

2) Order the audio program, "The Power of Outrageous Marketing" at www.yourbusinessbody.com

3) Subscribe to the DVD of the month at www.yourbusinessbody.com

The first DVD is scheduled to ship in a couple of weeks - don't miss one episode of fitness and marketing "lockerroom" type, behind the scenes footage with a fitness expert and a marketing master.

Whether you win the YourBusinessBody.com Body and Business Transformation Challenge or not - you still win.

You will have taken these 3 steps (Desire, Consistency, and Action) and worked towards a goal.

"The most evolved among us understand that winning is an inside job. It's not about beating or besting someone else, but rather getting the best from ourselves. Winning is about being better tomorrow that you were today." - Steven Siebold, "177 Mental Toughness Secrets of The World Class."

Why do you think that Dr. Vitale is in his 5th BodyForLife Challenge?

He's enjoyed the results that came with each Challenge.

He may not be where he is today, mentally or physically, without some sort of Challenge to give him the kick in the pants that he needed!

We hope to provide you with that same motivation.

The motivation that will enable you to Take Action!

www.bodybuildersreality.com

P.S. Round 1 of the Body Transformation has begun as of August 1st.

Yes, the fun has begun. Something tells me that this group may contain the Grand Champion of the entire contest.

Why?

Because they took action!

P.P.S. There are a total of four 12 week rounds for the Body Transformation Challenge - see "Round Dates" at www.yourbusinessbody.com.

You can still enter this round (Round 1) but you must begin now. Wait a week and it will be too late.

Let us know if you have any questions.
